Designations - Supplementary designations - Prefixes
Prefixes are used to identify components of a bearing and are usually then followed by the designation of the complete bearing, or to
avoid confusion with other bearing designations. For example they are used in front of designations for tapered roller bearings according
to a system described in ANSI/ABMA Standard 19 for (predominantly) inch bearings.

SKF - Suffixes:
Suffixes are used to identify designs or variants which differ in some way from the original design, or which differ from the current standard
design. The suffixes are divided into groups and when more than one special feature is to be identified; suffixes are provided in the order
shown in the scheme in fig.
The most commonly used suffixes are listed in the following. Note that not all variants are available.
Suffixes A - B
